You are so not funny... Neway...i work in midtown so by the time i get home and get the car to QCC, it would be 6:30...would that be too late??? Weekends sound just great would it be at QCC also?? since driving to there would make it so much easier for me ..
Thanks

If you are a girl, and you don't easily get mad at your partner, be my WD partner bah! How about meeting this Sat. in either QCC or brooklyn?

Hi i live in Flushing,Queens and i play badminton so much that i injured myself haha. What is your level of play and how long have you been playing? Are you a girl because i'm looking for a mixed doubles partner for an upcoming tournament haha. You should try Queens Borough Community College in Bayside www.qcc.cuny.edu on wednesdays 1-3pm at the gym (you can try to walk in and play since they don't check ID's that much), www.friendlybadminton.com offers play at a church near Queens Center Mall on wednesday and saturday nights. The Brooklyn Badminton Club is very far away near Coney Island. Try going there if you have a car or want to take an hour long subway ride but the place has eight courts.

P.S. i'm so lazy i just copy and pasted my old post hehe. I love screwing with LB's thread.

I am such a retarded player that, when I play MD and stay close to the net, I easily get hit by the shuttlecock.

QCC info

i would to..but i hav a business trip leaving 2morrow till sun ...how @ next week...sat?? is QCC open of wat?? do u happen to noe.it will be great since i m not that of a good driver yet, cant go far

Hi there is no badminton at QCC in the summer but there will be starting in september when the school is in the fall session. I have played there before many times and i helped the professor run the badminton class there also. I know very well since i took chinese mandarin class over there as a student for enrichment and i participated in their badminton and dance classes. They have a beginner badminton class that teaches you the basics in both the fall and spring semesters. The teacher is Korean and the classes are very popular over there. It is always packed and there's a good mix of people from all nationalities. However that instructional class is in the daytime so i doubt anybody with a day job will be able to attend it. Also there are open recreational badminton club hours every week on wednesdays from 1-3pm. Usually there are few people there and you can practice all you want. Whenever there are people that show up for the club hours it's usually chinese and indians. Many people that play basketball and volleyball over there like to watch the shuttle fly back and forth really fast. They never knew backyard badminton could be this exciting. Most of the Chinese people there are in the gym lobby playing ping pong. Whenever i have a day off on tuesdays or wednesdays i may stop by QCC in the fall but go in at your own risk because sometimes they check school ID. Students there can borrow racquets and plastic shuttles.

Now i recommend www.brooklynbadminton.comwww.friendlybadminton.comwww.nycbadminton.com You can find both me and Lazybuddy at all these places and we'll sign autographs but no pictures please . Oh yea Cardozo HS has open courts for badminton too...i asked my friend's younger cousin who goes there and she said that the security guard doesn't check at all and he doesn't care...so if you have a young looking face and a racquet. You can try to go in from the back door and ask the kids where is the gym after 3pm. I think their badminton open courts go from 3pm(after school) to 530pm.

It appears that Friendly club (Jamaica HS location) delayed their re-open date to 10/1, instead of mid sept as we used to believe. The church location remain opens on wed/sat night. Check www.friendlybadminton.com for further update.
